​Welcome.

One person can do a lot. —Judy Meisel

About Judy

Judy Meisel was just twelve years old when the Germans invaded her town in Lithuania in 1941, imprisoning her first in a ghetto and later a concentration camp. She and her sister Rachel escaped, and through an extraordinary journey that took them across German occupied Europe, they were liberated in Denmark.

Judy's story is remarkable and dramatic. Like everyone caught in the crosshairs of the Holocaust, she lost family members and witnessed horrific tragedy. When she ultimately settled in Philadelphia after the war, she became an educator and activist, honoring and remembering those that were not so lucky by ensuring that we can all learn from her story.
